Well, at least you have the best politicians money can buy...haha.
 
Our tax is 6% in MD - but its reduced by the amount of trade-in. If yours works the same way, you have even more incentive to trade-in vs private sale.

I'm in MD, too, I was reacting to their tax rate.
 
6% is high compared to our neighbor Deleware, where there is no stats sales tax.

Good Prices - details would be helpful... by marsound

It's good to see the low prices people are getting. It would be helpful if the posted price was before TTL (since all states are different) and included all option packages/extras in addition to the trim line.
 
Thanks for the posts.

just bought an 09 SE. options include autodimming mirror w/ compass and all weather floor mats. the price was 21,250 and OTD was 22,297. the price could have been lower if the dealer had the car in its inventory. it was shipped from IN to VA which added approx. 500 to the bottom line.

Considering this car, seems in excellent condition, waiting for all-points inspex report from Subaru dealer. Private sale. Asking $14,900. Stock online advice is offer 25% less but that seems extreme. What is fair starting offer?

I would check out the Kelley Blue TRADE IN VALUE for that specific model with all of it's options. KBB says for a 2007 Subaru Outback 2.5i Wagon 4D automatic with 44,000 miles in excellent condition $13,200 (with no additional options selected). I never pay more than TRADE IN VALUE for any used car regardless of condition. Dealers are demanding only wholesale (auction) prices for your trade in so the actual KBB trade in value adds about $2,000. They are making money because they screwed the last guy on his trade in.

This is interesting as dealer we just went to today to trade our 07 Outback XT advised they would only give us $15,000 trade in for our (sticker new was over $30k) car as that is what one went for at the auto auction (with only 17k). Our vehicle with 48k on Edmunds numbers shows $19,800 trade in and in KKB it shows $15,350/$16,300.
 
I know part of this is the economy, but $4,500+ spread plus selling at full MSRP plus $489 dealer fees has finally taught us a lesson on staying with a dealer we have purchased 8 Subaru from in the last 10 years (we both have one as we go different directions to work). I know dealers are having a rough time, but they should try to do a little better with folks that have a long history with them. Times will get better, but not for at least two years, and my wife and I will remember to go to a different dealer, if we decide to purchase a Subaru again.
 
If we sell it to a private buyer we will either go up North (New England) to buy a Subaru or try a different make. I really was taken back by the Sales Manager attitude and telling me I was arguing with him. Told him no, just that when a vehicle no longer holds its value why should I buy another one and I'd probably look at something else. He is new at this dealership and I don't think he will last long with HIS attitude.
 
Just my 2¢ worth.
 
I could mention a few other things, but won't as I've said enough. But when I say the next two years are going to be rough I mean ROUGH and I mean for everyone. We are not even close to being out of this economic mess we are in.

We used to see an corporate executive car with 7k miles on it, also fully loaded with navigation system, etc. They asked for $25400, and then finally lowered to $24900. We were told earlier that a brand new 09 outback limited is $26000 after $2000 rebate, so we were not very impressed by $24900. We offered $23800, but they didn't agree, so we left. They didn't ask us back. Later from their website, I saw the car labeled at $25995. I am glad that I went away.
